Man is the measure of all things: of things which are, that they are, and of things which are not, that they are not. Anthropomorphe proposes a reflection on individual and collective human body identity. Where lies the soul?

No man is an Iland, intire of itselfe; every manis a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine;if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europeis the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, aswell as if a Manor of thy friends or of thineowne were; any mans death diminishes me,because I am involved in Mankinde;And therefore never send to know for whomthe bell tolls; It tolls for thee.(John Donne, Meditation XVII, Devotions upon Emergent Occasions, 1623)

The first anthropomorphic maps are star and zodiacal maps. Anthropomorphic maps of continents and single countries evolved gradually from them. The development of this tradition is to attribute to idea initially from the ancient Greeks, through the alchemical esotericism of Renaissance, of an parallel between the microcosm and the macrocosme. Anthropomorphic maps were drawn by insertioning of the body of a god or goddess in the area to be mapped. Areas under each part received the name of that part. By these early maps to every part of the body corresponds a region. A specific part of the body can be attributed for structural, functional or toponymical similarity. Later they have evolved into caricatures.

Do we underestimate psychological consequences of air pollution? We often speak of the consequences of pollution on health, and of the diseases that it can cause... but we speak less of affective and cognitive conditioning of air pollution. We quickly cross the external environment and we don't have the time anymore to look anybody in the FACE.

Prosopagnosia (sometimes known as face blindness) is a disorder of face perception where the ability to recognize faces is impaired, while the ability to recognize other objects may be relatively intact. The term usually refers to a condition following acute brain damage, but recent evidence suggests that a congenital form of the disorder may exist. The specific brain area usually associated with prosopagnosia is the fusiform gyrus.Few successful therapies have so far been developed for affected people, although individuals often learn to use 'piecemeal' or 'feature by feature' recognition strategies. This may involve secondary clues such as clothing, hair color, body shape, and voice. Because the face seems to function as an important identifying feature in memory, it can also be difficult for people with this condition to keep track of information about people, and socialize normally with others.
